Query String Parser

We parse a lot of queries at PostRank Inc. The time taken to parse those queries starts to add up. Eventually we got to the point where we decided to create a simple C based parser. Hence, QueryStringParser.

A more detailed explanation of the origins can be found at: everburning.com/news/introducing-querystringparser

Usage is pretty simple, you can either call the function against the QueryStringParser module, or include the module into your code. There is only one method, qs_parse.

require 'query_string_parser'
QueryStringParser.qs_parse("my=query&string=parser")
=> {"my"=>"query", "string"=>"parser"}

include QueryStringParser
qs_parse("does[]=array&does[]=data&does[3]=values&does=more")
=> {"does"=>["array", "data", "values", "more"]}
